Know before you buy
The Versailles Gold plate measures 6.25 inches (158.75 mm) in diameter, which is the standard size for a bread and butter service.

Yes, this plate is part of the classic Versailles collection. You can coordinate it with other dinnerware pieces from the same line to create a cohesive table setting.
The gold is applied using traditional Limoges techniques, which are known for their durability. However, as with all fine porcelain with metallic detailing, it should be handled with care and stored properly to avoid surface scratches.
